MATH2011 Tutorial Notes 10: 23 April, 2012 Suppose F (X, Y, Z) Xy + Yz + ZX, Find F, F and × F

This document contains solutions to 3 problems involving vector calculus operations on functions. Problem 1 finds the gradient, Laplacian, and curl of f(x,y,z)=xy^2+yz^2+zx^2. Problem 2 finds the dot product and cross product of the gradient with F(x,y,z)=(y/(x^2+y^2), -x/(x^2+y^2),z). Problem 3 finds the dot product of the gradient with G(x,y,z)=(ye^x,ze^y,xe^z), the dot product of the gradient with the curl of G, and the curl of the curl of G.
